Is your wedding day around the corner? Well, congratulations. Welcome to the journey of love and commitment. Most individuals have dreamt of what kind of wedding they want to have. You want everything to be pitch-perfect. And why not? After all, it's your day. But when it's actually happening, the overwhelming feelings can sometimes make it challenging to decide how to start the preparations. You become confused about deciding what kind of wedding is right for you. If that sounds like you, that is what we are here for. Keep reading to find out which kind of wedding is right for you.

Think big

Your big day is near. Have you ever planned what your dream wedding looks like? If not, do it right away. Don't think what your parents will think. After all, it's your day, and you have the right to plan everything how you want it to be. Some questions that you can answer could be – How many guests do you want to have? Whether you want to have an indoor wedding or an outdoor one? Whether you want the wedding at your native place or a destination wedding? What will be the theme of your wedding – modern, classic, vintage or rustic? These questions will help you develop an idea of what kind of wedding style suits you.

Gather inspiration 

To become clear on what kind of wedding you want, get started with spending some time browsing bridal magazines, blogs and websites. But don't limit yourself to just browsing these. Pay attention to everything you buy. Any wallpaper or packaging can spark your attention. Fabrics, trinkets, and stationery can be treated as great starting points. After gathering all the ideas, put them on the inspiration board to keep everything organized. It will help you visualize how these elements will look together.

Going ahead with the inspiration, also think of how you are planning to document the memories of your loved ones. If you want to immerse in the atmosphere of your wedding day for the years to come, a wedding video guestbook is the best idea you can think of. In which guests can simply scan a QR code, that code will take them to a landing page, and guests can leave heartfelt messages, memories or advice for the happy couple. No need to log in with their IDs or fuss like that. You will cherish these videos your whole life, and that is something incomparable to anything else. And who doesn't want such video keepsakes on their wedding? 

Choose your style

You have gathered inspiration and thought about your dream wedding. But how do you decide specifically the style of wedding you want? Suppose you have decided on the theme of your wedding – "glam". Now, narrow down the options and think whether you want Hollywood glam or art-deco glam. The theme of your wedding could be anything from your favorite era to your hobby to any heritage. While deciding the style, it is also important to consider the hobbies you and your partner have in common. Maybe you both love dancing or playing any particular sport. Or there is a special place that is deeply etched in your heart. Talk to your partner and decide on common ground what you both want. Stick to one concept, and don't make things messier by including everything. 

Pick colors

Color is the factor that unifies all your wedding elements. A color wheel will help you determine the hues you are attracted to. It is advisable to choose one main color and an accent color, or you can also decide to have two equally complementary colors (Like red and green or blue and orange) for a bright contrast. But don't limit yourself. Neutral or metallic accents can also add charm to your palette.  

Set the tone

You have decided everything. But have you pondered upon the tone of your wedding? It will help the guests remember the vibe of your D-day. An evening wedding is perfect for taking a chic quotient higher, while a beach wedding will compel the guests to kick off their shoes and dive into the fun of beer right out of the bottle. Every option is great as long as it feels right to the couple. Let your passions and personalities shine through your wedding to make it stand out. 

To make a long story short

Deciding on the right kind of wedding is an exciting and rewarding process. By taking the time to plan everything carefully, choosing your style, setting up the tone and picking colors, you can have it all in terms of a truly meaningful celebration. Trust your instincts, listen to your partner and enjoy the journey of planning your dream wedding. The new chapter of your life is waiting.
